Abstract

A card connector (1) includes an insulating housing (2); a number of contacts (3) retained in the insulating housing (2) and a shell (4). The shell (4) covers the insulating housing (2) to define a card receiving space therebetween and defines a card insertion direction. The contacts (3) comprise a number of contacting portions (32) exposed into the card receiving space. A stopper (44) is formed on the shell (4) and protruding into the card receiving space and comprises a stopping portion (440) approximately uprightly exposed into the card receiving space along the card insertion direction to prevent the card from mis-insertion.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention is generally related to a card connector, and especially to a card connector with an anti-mismating device.

[0003] 2. Description of Related Art

[0004] With the development of electronic appliances, different electrical cards are used to expand additional functions of the electronic appliance, such as data storage. A card connector is required to receive the electrical card to achieve the storage function between the electrical card and the corresponding electronic appliance. However, a user may insert the electrical card into the card connector in an improper state by mistake. In this situation, the card connector, the electrical card and even the electronic appliance may be damaged. Thus, one way to solve the above mention problem is to design the card connector with an anti-mismating device.

[0005] A common card connector adapted for receiving a card comprises an insulating housing, a plurality of con...
